Bryan’s Michigan Tour Opens With Mixed Crowds
Bryan's first Michigan trip covers sixteen speeches from Michigan City to Grand Rapids October 19. He tours diverse areas including peach country and furniture districts, with two Grand Rapids gatherings and night meetings at Muskegon. The crowd size and enthusiasm lagged behind Indiana and Illinois, though Muskegon and Grand Rapids nights matched the best. The letter from W. J. Bryan questions President Wilson’s Philippine policy and asks if Spaniards’ lands should be sold without inhabitants’ consent, urging restraint.
